| Obverse description | Central field bearing a multi-line Arabic religious or titular inscription enclosed within two concentric square frames, creating a characteristic geometric border design. An additional marginal Arabic inscription runs along the outer edges between the inner concentric squares and an enclosing circle. The overall composition is typical of Ottoman-period hammered gold coinage, with the squared cartouche motif reflecting established Anatolian and North African mint traditions. |

| Reverse description | Central field displaying a multi-line Arabic inscription, likely incorporating the sultan's name and regnal titles, contained within two concentric square frames mirroring the obverse design. A secondary marginal Arabic legend occupies the border area between the inner squares and the outer enclosing circle. The hammered fabric imparts a slightly irregular flan, characteristic of sixteenth-century North African Ottoman mint production. |
